I think I dreamed in Chinese last night. When I woke up, I replied some well-wishing smses. One of which was Jolene's. I was trying to point out that I went to bed earlier than usual last night (10pm) and so I didn't see her message earlier. But my reply went something like, "I sleeped earlier last night". The worst thing was, I didn't realise until I was corrected. I think the school really gave an overdose of Chinese. I hope I recover soon.

Today's paper was quite ok. I didn't expect some parts to be so easy/straight forward. But after finally finishing Chinese, I didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. The questions were good, but the question numbers weren't. After Paper 1 ended, I went to talk to Natalie and then I suddenly realised I might have written the question number wrongly for the first part of Paper 1. I wrote about question 1, but I think I remember myself writing "Q2" on the paper. Till now, I can't remember what exactly was written. The worst part is, I'll never get to know. For mid-years, I forgot to write my question numbers. This time, I wrote the wrong one. I don't know which is worse, really. If I happened to write it wrongly, I'll probably be out of point for the 10 marks. Contemplating on that destroyed all my hopes for the rest of Paper 2. I spent the rest of the break worrying, all the way till I got home.

The weird thing is, I was reading the devotional book before lunch just now and it happened to be on the topic of worrying. I was wondering, how did God know? The point is, there is no point worrying about the paper anymore. I'll never know what I actually put. Furthermore, I should just trust that God has His own ways of bringing about His plans for me, and they are infintely wise. If anyone who may be reading this is worrying about anything under our hot sun, don't give in to despair. Because it causes us to exaggerate our adversities in life, and it also hinders us from being able to count our blessings. If I don't get the A1 I want this time, I'll just take it at the end of the year. The next time, I will make sure I remember to write down the correct question number.
